In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.

On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.

Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.

Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.

Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.

As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

My Review...

Wowza! I am hoping this is just the start of a new series!

This is the story of Emmy and Graham.

Both have had life-altering events that have happened to them and have caused them both to be relationship-adverse. However, they can’t seem to fight the way fate throws them together and the absolute chemistry between them.

Emmy is wonderful and she has my dream job!

Graham is the perfect blend of alpha and hero!

I loved the world that Ms. Madden-Mills has created with the Darling and Harlan families. Especially the bookstore. I want to live in a place that the author has created.

The secondary characters really bring a richness to the story and I hope that we get more stories about some of them.

Charlotte McDougal
I hate him and I don’t even know his name.

The good news is my nemesis has made it abundantly clear the feeling is mutual. He did call me pretty, though, in the midst of a heated screaming match. Which would have been flattering, if I didn’t loathe him so much. But whatever. I don’t care how handsome he might be, or how charming the rest of the world probably finds him, guys who look like aged-out boy banders aren’t my type. Add to that, he’s got a knack for being in precisely the wrong place at the wrong time, and I was thrilled to march away from our angry skirmish and never see the b*stard with the piercing blue eyes, ever again.

It wasn’t meant to be, though. As it turns out, my sworn enemy is my new next-door neighbor. F*ck my life. Luckily, he’s got a big secret to keep, just like I do. He’s in a jam, and so am I. So, we’ve decided to put our differences aside long enough to resolve our respective predicaments. Of course, we’ve made it clear this is going to be a business arrangement and nothing more. A necessary means to an end. But when you’re forced to work closely with your sworn enemy, a guy who happens to be ridiculously attractive and surprisingly funny—when he actually starts to grow on you, much to your shock—keeping things strictly professional becomes easier said than done.

My Neighbor’s Secret is a funny, silly, zany, swoony, spicy, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, standalone rom com that will keep you laughing, swooning, guessing, and fanning yourself, all the way to Charlotte and Auggie’s happily ever after.

My Review...

Well Ms. Rowe, you have done it again! I absolutely fell hard and completely embraced this story from start to finish.

This is Auggie’s long-awaited story (well at least for me it was). I am always a sucker for the shy, quiet, nerdy types and Auggie doesn’t fail to deliver all the goods!

Charlotte is just the person Auggie needs to bring the sparkle and fun into his world. 

Their meet-cute, wasn’t very pretty, in fact, it was downright vicious. But eventually, the heart wants what it wants and when Charlotte and Auggie come together, well it’s a house on fire with swoons, heat, and hilarity!

The mystery, the intrigue and the downright laughs you are going to get from this new story from Lauren Rowe is epic. 

I always love a happily ever after story!

About HE’S NOT MY TYPE:

Word to the wise, never become roommates with a girl you’ve been pining over for the better part of a year. 

You’re probably wondering why I would do such a thing? Well, I didn’t. 

It was my teammates. 

The moment they found out Blakely White was single, they took it upon themselves to play cupid and instruct me on how I should win her over.

Don’t wear a shirt around her.
Make her dinner.
Lightly touch her shoulder when you say goodbye. 

I’m so flustered, so overwhelmed, so madly in love with this woman who barely notices me, that I lose control of the situation and make one huge mistake: I offer to be her fake date for a wedding so she can make her ex jealous. 

That means, for one whole night I get a free pass with her. I get to hold her, dance with her, kiss her…stare at her from across the room like she’s my entire world because she has been for months now. 

But when the night comes to an end, I’m faced with two options: bring her back to my bedroom and show her how I really feel, or let her walk away, succumbing to the fact that I very well might not be her type.

My Review...

I knew Halsey was gonna be my favorite, my ultimate book-boyfriend. And boy did Ms. Quinn give her readers a slapshot to the heart with this new story.

This is Halsey and Blakely’s story.

I am not gonna lie, this is a book for the ages! I laughed, I cried and I was melting at the chemistry between Halsey and Blakely. 

The text messages in the group chat were hysterical.

I bonded with all the characters hard, from Blakely’s light and energy to Halsey’s “still waters run deep” front he plays well.

The world that Ms. Quinn has created with the crew of the Agitators is nothing short of brilliant and I cannot wait to read the next story. 

I can totally see myself re-reading this over and over again, and let me tell you, I don’t say that often. Well done Ms. Quinn, well done!

EXCERPT

 

Carolina was introducing him to his former fiancée.

 

Fine. Near fiancée. It had been a promise ring, not an engagement diamond, but still.
The run he’d just finished was apparently unnecessary from a cardio standpoint, since his heart was now racing, crashing into his ribs as if it were fleeing a crime scene. Not that he was the bad guy. But still.
Kari. No way.
It was his Kari. And okay, maybe she was never formally his fiancée, but until college and distance broke them up, they always planned on it. He’d given her a promise ring in high school, so that was close enough.
When Carolina had mentioned she was meeting two wedding professionals named Katie and Carrie, he’d heard it as the more familiar spelling. She’d never spelled it out, and she hadn’t bothered to tell him Kari’s last name.
“Caleb, have you swallowed your tongue along with your manners? Shake the poor woman’s hand, for goodness sake!” Carolina crooned, giving him side-eye while managing a puzzled smile at Kari as the two stood awkwardly in front of each other, gaping.
Kari had changed in some ways, for sure, but it was her, alright. Her brown hair was a darker shade but still thick and shiny, framed in soft layers around her face, brushing the edges of straight, strong shoulders. He recognized those whiskey brown eyes, deceptively sleepy unless you knew her, knew that behind them, her brain was working constantly at warp speed.
She was taller now–or anyway, she didn’t wear four-inch heels back then–so instead of having to bend to kiss her lips, he could just dip his head.
If he wanted to kiss her.
If wanting to kiss her wasn’t the only thing he could think about.

My Review...

YES!!! A new series by the talented Julia Kent! I am all over that like a bad rash! 

The Wedding Protectors, an amazing business model, and a fantastic setup.

This is the story of one of the founders Kari and her foray into the world of the Micklemas family. Little does she know that an old flame is part of that.

Caleb Mickelmas is biting his tongue big time during the planning and coordination of the wedding between his brother and the mother of all bridezillas. A shining spot in this is seeing Kari again and trying to figure out what had gone wrong all those years ago.

As always you are going to get hilarity, heat, and oh the swoons with this new story. I loved seeing all the past characters make appearances. There are Easter eggs aplenty! 

I am always happy after reading a Julia Kent story! I cannot wait for the next in this new series!

See My Review Below!!!

I was trying to do the right thing, not looking for trouble.
What would you do if you found a wounded man on the sidewalk? Call 911 and stay with him until his family arrives at the hospital, right? So I did, then I went back to my life.
Except, he vowed to find me. And he did.
Scorching hot sports agent, Percival Hills.
He claims I saved him, and in return, he’s offered to give me whatever I want.
I just wanted fun, and he promised to deliver.
It started as a wicked game of pleasure, and then everything changed.
Will the ties that bind us keep us together or tear us apart?

My Review...

Oh Ms. Mohel! You have brought a story that has heart, heat, and a sensitivity that really embraces the characters.

This is the story of Percival and Spencer,  and what a lovely story it is.

Spencer is an amazingly written character, her disability doesn’t define her and Ms. Mohel brings her to life with respect, caring, and a dignity that is inspiring.

Percival, the epitome of a playboy. But all he needed was the right woman to bring him to the light.

The way that Spencer and Percival meet is nothing short of thrilling and scary. And their whirlwind romance will take your breath. The amazing landscapes and places that they visit are described beautifully.

If you are looking for a fast-paced, insta love, look no further than this newest story from the talented mind of Ms. Mohel.

BLURB: 

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

Enter Nick, my next-door neighbor. My very hot, single, fireman neighbor. He’s full of the seasonal spirit from hanging my outdoor Christmas lights to playing Santa for the local church breakfast.

Funny thing about Nick, he kind of resembles the man in red, in a younger, sexier, silver fox way, complete with snow in his beard but rather tight abs suggesting cookies are not part of his diet when they are a staple of mine.

Anywho, he’s sweet in a rugged sense, and if he were the man making a list and checking it twice, I’d like to be in his naughty column. Because something tells me being a little naughty-ish with Nick from next door might bring me tidings of comfort and restore my joy in this season.

When he discovers I have a seasonal list myself, he’s determined to help me accomplish all the to-dos, only falling in love with my next-door neighbor wasn’t one of them.

My Review...

Well, ho, ho, ho, indeed! Ms. Dunbar’s steamy, heart-melting new story is sure to put readers in the proper holiday spirit.

This is the story of Holliday and Nick, perfect names for a perfect couple.

Holliday is trying hard to get into the holiday spirit. Her world is changing in a big way, and she’s learning to navigate on her own with two kiddos in tow, so it’s not easy.

Next-door neighbor Nick is the perfect Christmas delight. He is a swoony present wrapped in a handsome package.

This fast-paced story is full of holiday goodness, with a dash of miscommunication, a smidgen of assumptions, and a large helping of spiciness!

I have always admired how Ms. Dunbar takes more mature characters and gives them the heat and heart that is believable and relatable.

Make-Believe Match by Melanie Harlow is now live!

𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆? 𝗡𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘆.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆…

Getting hitched is the only way I can inherit Snowberry Lodge, and I’ll do anything to spare my childhood home from the wrecking ball-even wear Devlin Buckley’s ring on my finger.

Not that I’ll enjoy it.

Sure, he’s charming and handsome, and that no-last-names one-night stand we shared ended with a fantastically big bang (I saw stars I hadn’t seen in six months, if you catch my drift).

But I’ll never trust him-he was working for the company trying to bulldoze my life.

Right up until the day he knocked on my door with an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Marry him, and he’ll help me restore my family’s crumbling resort to its former glory-and get revenge on his ex-boss in the process. Once our goals are achieved, we’ll go our separate ways.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄.

My Review...

Like a cup of hot cocoa, this new story from Ms. Harlow is sweet and hot. A wonderful welcome back to the Buckley family.

This is the story of Devlin and Lexi.

Lexi is struggling to keep her family legacy alive. She is willing to do just about anything to make sure this happens.

Devlin Buckley, well, this fella is all about the win. He’s a silver-tongued devil with a heart of gold. Childhood tragedy unknowingly shapes him into the man he is. 

The chemistry between Lexi and Devlin is Kindle-melting hot, and the definition of the saying “A thin line between love and hate.”

I absolutely love going back to the world that Ms. Harlow has created with Cherry Tree Harbor and the Buckleys. I cannot wait for the next one!

Synopsis

She’s a pariah with a killer past. Her bid to escape it is nothing short of terrifying in a heart-pounding novel of suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.


Afton Teachout has been an outcast in her small town for twenty years—ever since she was accused of murdering her mother’s lover in a blackout fit of rage. That is, if one believes the malicious lies.


Living with her grandmother, working a hotel night shift, and relying on pills to get a day’s sleep, Afton is due a little luck. It comes in the form of an unexpected financial windfall. With her newfound wealth, Afton sets a secret plan in motion to help her only friend, Sydney, flee a toxic husband. But the best intentions soon spin out of control.


Afton is getting unsettling calls from a restricted number, and someone has been lingering outside her home. As Sydney’s troubled marriage comes into focus, so does Afton’s past. Her second chance—for herself and for Sydney—isn’t what she dreamed of at all. In fact, it’s becoming a nightmare.

My Review...

Gawd! This story, this thriller, is just epic! I absolutely love Minka Kent, and this newest story is full of lies, deceit, mystery, and moments where you are going to yell, “Holy Crow!”.

This is the story of lifelong friends Afton and Sydney. They have been together through all of life’s ups and horrific downs.

Afton struggles with some substantial mental health issues, but I have to admit, I admired this girl for her strength and determination.

Sydney will do absolutely anything for her family and her friends. She works exceptionally hard to make a happy home for herself, her husband, and her kids.

Readers are going to be blown away by the intrigue and the lengths that some humans will go to. I was turning the pages until the very end, and what an ending it is!

The flow of this story, with flashbacks throughout, is gripping, edgy and will keep you dialed into the world that Ms. Kent created!

Christmas Cupid by Ilsa Madden-Mills is now live!

From #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a brand new enemies to lovers holiday novella (40,000 words) about finding love in unexpected places.

Dear Sneaky Santa

I’d like to have a word about your sense of humor. Was it really necessary to stick me, a professional hockey player nursing an injury and avoiding the media, in an isolated cabin with a bratty, boot-designing princess who seems to have made it her mission to despise me? I mean, come on, what did I ever do to you?

And let’s talk about our first encounter. Was it your intention for her to barge in on me while I was enjoying a soak in the tub? It wasn’t exactly my finest moment, and I’m sure she didn’t appreciate the view of my massive body floundering around as I tried to grab a towel.

Now, I’m stuck with her, thanks to a mutual acquaintance, in the middle of a snow blizzard, navigating through bear attacks, sketchy neighbors, and whole lot of tension. I had plans, Santa, plans to escape to Cabo and forget about the world, not to be trapped with a woman who thinks I’m unworthy of her time just because she can’t stand hockey players.
Oh, and speaking of our delightful Iris, she’s stingier with her food than Scrooge was with his pennies! I’m not asking for a feast, but a guy’s got to eat! And could you possibly turn her yippy dog into a reindeer or something? It would certainly add to the Christmas spirit and save my eardrums.

I’m trying to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, and you throw me into this chaos? Is this some kind of test, or are you just having a jolly laugh up there in the North Pole?

So here’s my Christmas wish, Santa: sprinkle a bit of your magic and either get me out of here or be a Cupid and ignite a fiery, undeniable passion between us, because right now, this scenario is frostier than a snowman.

My Review...

Welcome to the holiday season, Ms. Madden-Mills style!

This lovely little novella is packed full of festiveness, heart, and a slow burn!

This is the story of Iris and Kyler. 

A not-so-meet cute, and sparks fly brighter than the stars above. 

I loved the witty banter between them. And the setting of this story is something I have always longed for!

I would love to read a more extended version of them in the future. This story is like a Christmas cookie, too good and didn’t last long!

Easton Cruz was my world.

Our souls collided the day he walked into that bar.

His presence made me whole in a way I hadn’t been before.

He was my forever.

Until one day, he wasn’t.

The beautiful life we were starting to create was destroyed by betrayal.

And after two long years, I was still trying to move on and put my shattered pieces from his deception back together.

Except when the man you hate haunts your dreams, moving on is impossible.

Maybe that’s why my friends tricked me into going for a secluded weekend in the woods. A vacation to heal and finally move on.

But this trip was anything but serene and healing. It was more like a nightmare.

I vowed never to let him in enough to hurt me again. Because I hated him.

The problem is, I loved him more…

My Review...

What a way to start my holiday reading season!

This is the fast-paced story of Callie and Easton.

Miscommunication, assumptions, and stubborn pride rip these two apart. When fate and friendships bring them back together, sparks fly like crazy.

Callie and Easton’s relationship is given to the reader in glimpses of flashbacks. It doesn’t take away from the flow of the story; it gives the reader a better understanding of what makes Easton and Callie tick.

Set in a beautiful cabin in a snowy forest, this story is going to grab you from the first chapter and not let you go until the very end.

You get heart, heat, and laughs aplenty with this lovely story!
